Justin Timberlake Vs. Beyoncé Knowles

What do Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé Knowles have in common? How are they different? Why does JT get a free pass, and Queen Bee a bad rap?

For starters J.Timberlake and Beyoncé started from the bottom. NSYNC and Destiny’s Child launched their careers to the moon. The impact of JT and Queen Bee will live on forever.

Music is like bubble gum. It sticks with you. Do you ever find yourself listening to the same 1 song over and over?

Timberlake and Knowles make memorable music. If you don’t memorize the lyrics, you will remember the beat. If you ask me, Beyoncé is the best vocalist bar none.

Justin can’t touch Beyoncé as far as dancing. Still, he has massive sex appeal. And sex sells.

Here’s where the story gets foggy. Beyoncé used to sing about love. Now, she exclusively sings about sex.

Do you want your children to listen to Beyoncé? Do you want them to memorize Beyoncé’s lyrics verbatim? She might not want to be a role model, but she is highly influential.

Music used to be subtle. Now anything goes. Singers swear like Popeye the sailor man in real life. We have to ask ourselves how far is too far? What should we do when someone crosses the line?

Timberlake is guilty too. But, he gets a free pass. Beyoncé gets a bad rap. I guess it is due to a double standard.

As an adult, I don’t mind Timberlake or Beyoncé’s suggestive songs. But I don’t want my children listening to them. Parents are the answer. We need to step in and monitor the situation.

Music making doesn’t have to go down a narrow road. There’s plenty of room for success and error. JT and Bee are successful entertainers who’ve traveled a long journey.

Justin Timberlake has yet to rise to the height of his fame. In fact, he’s still growing. In comparison, Beyoncé is bigger than ever.

Beyoncé is the new Madonna. Did you know Madonna is the highest paid celebrity? Click to read and view complete story. As you can see, Madonna has capitalized on her fame.

Beyoncé can too. I believe her name alone is worth $1 Billion. Long after retiring, she’ll still be making hundreds of millions.

Bee’s peaking and this is her year. Beyoncé is the entertainer of 2014. But, the future belongs to Justin.

The Tennessee Kid has a global following. He’s beloved in places where they don’t speak English. Music truly is universal.

I recommend starting your music career in a band. You’ll get more love. TheBeatles are a perfect example of this phenomenon.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon went solo and made more cash. George and Ringo got the short end of the stick. Although the music industry is extremely competitive, it is also very lucrative.

You can easily make $50 million per year if you’re on top of your game. Just stay dedicated and humbled. Don’t get the big head. That’s why I worry about Beyoncé.

Bee is making herself an easy target. Why do you have to brag? Everybody knows you’re rich. Beyoncé, you don’t have to prove anything to anybody.

Here’s why Justin Timberlake wins. In a recent article, I compared Timberlake to Jennifer Lopez. I feel JLO is a hard working girl. But, Justin is more talented.

I’ll be frank; Beyoncé is better than Justin talent wise. However, JT is right behind her. You see, Beyoncé is fully matured, while Justin is a rare work in progress.

It’s an interesting comparison because they appeal to a similar audience. Can you imagine a whole album full of duets and ballads by Justin and Beyoncé?

I hope the entertainment world get their acts together. Katy Perry is in her own Pluto featuring Miley Cyrus. Lady Gaga is going back in time to save Tony Bennett.

I can’t make this stuff up…really. Why is Lady Gaga all of a sudden bowing down to Tony? Even though entertainers today are weird, good music is still good music. Bad is bad.

I admire the fact Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé dress to impress. People respect these artists. You get the real deal.

A lot of music on YouTube sucks. I want to print out those lyrics and put them in the paper shredder. Fortunately, I’m an environmentalist. I won’t waste trees on nonsense.

And so, JTimberlake and Beyoncé Knowles are the last of a dying breed. Thus, they shall be worshipped for hundreds of years. In 10 years, they’ll talk about Justin like Elvis.

Beyoncé’s too hot. She’s hot as hell. She needs to cool her butt. 

Be like Alicia Keys.

Alicia is an angel with wings. She sets a good example for the youth. Her humility serves a purpose.

I’m not saying having an ego is bad. All I am saying is Bee, be easy. Nowadays everything is hard. We want things easier.

Why does a diva have to be an ass? Beyoncé’s new style needs work. In her own words, pretty hurts.

Stop hurting yourself, Beyoncé. Slow down and operate like Justin Timberlake. You’ve got what it takes.

Even though Alicia is calm, she still has a few weaknesses. I will discuss them in future articles. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake was built to last.

I can picture a 70-year-old Timberlake making #1 hits. In fairness to the queen, a man has a longer career I show business than a woman.

Beyoncé will survive. Justin Timberlake will thrive. Who knows what will happen? Take my opinions for what they are- mine.

If you worship Beyoncé, that’s your prerogative. If I worship Justin Timberlake, that’s my prerogative. It’s sad but it’s true. Everybody is looking for a celebrity to worship. Take my advice and stop it.

If you must, be your own celebrity. You’ll never fail this way. This is the Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1! Feel free to ask questions and submit comments. Use the share buttons on the bottom.

Jennifer Lopez Vs. Justin Timberlake

Who do you like the best Jennifer Lopez or Justin Timberlake?

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons
Jennifer Lopez

Before Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez entertained millions. What is more, she still wows the crowd with her versatile skills. She sings, acts, dances, produces, and judges to perfection.

JLO is simultaneously confident and humble. Did you know she began as a dancer? Yes, indeed… and, that’s why the Latina deserves our respect.

Newbies should pay close attention to her career. She turned nothing into something. And, Lopez made a lot from a little.

As a result of her success, she is internationally recognized and universally accepted. No one denies her talent. It is truly amazing to watch her in action.


Jennifer is the first to say she got it from her mama. JLO is a sweetheart. Her image is intact.

She is a fine actress and dancer.  She’s also a superb singer. You can’t say one bad thing about her.

You appreciate the fact she stays grounded. Jennifer is not vying for attention. She’s not desperate at all.

So, why can’t we get enough of her? The answer: because she is gifted. Here lies the “Kim Kardashian problem.”

You may argue Kardashian is better looking than Lopez. I give you that because Kim is younger and more self-absorbed. The two beauties are both very pleasing to the senses.

But, JLO has talent. So, JLO is way more entertaining than Kim. That’s a fact.


The Puerto Rican American Idol can do everything at a high level. There is a difference. She’s terrific in all areas.

She is one of the most talented female entertainers in show business. I believe Beyoncé is entertainer of the year though. Although I love Beyoncé, her acting is not as great as JLO. Singing is a different story. Beyoncé’s pipes are flawless.

Now, you must understand Jennifer Lopez paid her dues. She received her big break while starring in the biopic Selena. I’ve seen this movie 100 times and not by choice.

If you ever take a Spanish class, you will have to watch Selena. I didn’t mind seeing it 99 times because JLO is just awesome. But 100 times, is 1 too many.

Who remembers the Wedding Planner? Did you see the Cell, Maid in Manhattan and Monster-in-Law? Did you know Jennifer Lopez is the richest Hollywood actress?

She paved the way for Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Vanessa Hudgens. All three owe her a few million dollars. JLO proves you can be successful by pursuing your true love.

Currently, she is the highest paid TV judge. Why does she command $17.5 million? Part of the answer: because she is lucky.

Go to 7 Lucky Ways Celebrities Make Money. “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” 

My last post How to Be Famous in Seven Steps gives you a plan. JLO is more than just one of my top pop stars. She is one of my favorite entertainers. Justin Timberlake makes my list too.

Justin Timberlake

You have to see this video.


As you can see, Justin Timberlake along with Britney Spears started on the Disney channel.  Timberlake has been in the entertainment business at least 20 years. Remember, you are rewarded for longevity.

As you put more skin in the game, your name gets bigger. This is the key to fame. Ask Lady Gaga.

If you do anything long and good enough, you become an expert. It’s safe to say Justin is a premier entertainer. Like JLO, Justin has a variety of professional skills.

He sings, dances and produces. By the way, Timberlake is a great actor. One day I can see him winning an Oscar. He came close with the In Time movie. Nobody is more dedicated than Timberlake. He puts on his suit and tie and goes to work despite not having a typical 9 to 5 job.



Do you remember when Justin took a hiatus from singing to focus solely on acting? He gave up easy money for the sake of his profession. Talk about commitment!

His wife Jennifer Beal is in Seventh Heaven, because Justin Timberlake commits 110 percent. He hosted Saturday Night Live five times. He played in the Facebook movie. And, Justin deserves credit for his business savvy.

To the contrary, Timberlake is a better singer than actor unlike Jennifer who is a great actress. Here’s a thought: how about making a movie or music video featuring JLO and Justin. I would like to see that. Would you?

If you’re a young man, use Justin Timberlake as a role model. He takes care of business then pleasure. It should always be a pleasure doing business.

I live by the motto: be cool and have fun. Nobody has more fun than JTimberlake. He acts, sings and looks cool. The girls think he’s hot.

You know Justin was a Disney Kid. Did you also know he was in the boy band N’Sync? Here’s video proof.


Justin Timberlake is on top of the world right now. His acting career is just beginning. He’s successful because he’s rare. 

When you get famous, don’t forget to develop your talents in other areas. Not only will you make more money, you will garner more respect. Seize your opportunities like JLO and Timberlake.

Someday soon Justin will reach the point where he doesn’t have to audition. Screenwriters will write roles specifically with Timberlake in mind. Jennifer Lopez is already there and so is Jamie Foxx.

Jamie Foxx is underrated. The actor/musician/comedian wears many hats.  If you ask me, he’s probably the most gifted man in the entertainment industry. The movie Ray starring Foxx is an absolute must-see.

However, Justin Timberlake is too big to ignore. He’s the definition of mainstream. He has global appeal and world wide reach. You won’t build a brand bigger than Timberlake.

Newbies take note. He is not arrogant. He is confident and humble like Jennifer Lopez. My advice is to build your confidence and practice humility. This is all about reputation.

Top 10 Favorite Pop Stars

10. Shakira

Photo By: Andres Arranz

Just like the World Cup, Shakira kicks off our list. She easily makes my top 10. The Colombian singer knows how to work it. Click here to see how Shakira is shaking these days.

I was one of the first to watch her video with Rihanna on YouTube. Does this remind you of Beautiful Liar? We can’t get enough of Shakira, plain and simple.

9. Britney Spears

Photo By: Jen

I became infatuated with Britney in the eighth grade. If you will, call it puppy love. Oh my, Britney can work it too. 

The reality is Britney breaks records in the record business. Womanizers and women buy her goods up like beachfront property. Why? Because she’s hot, that’s why.

8. Alicia Keys

 Photo By: José Goulão



AliciaKeys is a phenomenal solo artist. Not many hold a candle to her musical acumen. She lights up the world with her music.

Not to mention, she has more curves than Justin Verlander and Kate Upton. She’s a bad mama jama. She is an elite 8th but she bats cleanup. She seems so delicate like a dove.

7.  Bruno Mars

Photo By: MyCanon

At 7 is Bruno Mars, because his status has soared ever since performing at the SuperBowl. He pays homage to legends like Elvis. That’s why he is a fine showman.

If you love music, then you like Bruno Mars. His fans are amazing. I admire his work ethic.

6. Justin Bieber

Photo By: Joe Bielawa

Mr. Bieber is my sixth favorite. Click here to read How to Be Justin Bieber. Basically, Bieber is a natural.

His best years are still to come. In a decade, he may legitimately take the number 1 spot. He’s not the King; he’s more like the Duke of Pop.

5. Justin Timberlake

Public Domain

Justin Timberlake manages to mesmerize the ladies. It’s almost like the Suit and Tiemusician is a magician on the stage. The singer /actor/businessman pulls out bunny rabbits from his many hats.

Make no mistake. Do you think his marriage to Jessica Biel makes him more desirable? Whatever the case, Timberlake is the future face of entertainment.

4. Katy Perry

Photo By: nikotransmission

Click to read How to Be Like Katy Perry and LeBron James. Katy Perry is my number 4. She just doesn’t make hits; She hits homeruns. Katy Perry knocks it out the park every time she’s up to bat.

I play a lot baseball. And, I listen to a lot of music. If baseball is America’s pastime, then Katy Perry is America’s sweetheart.

Katy is definitely a diva. I may go as far to say she is the Duchess of Pop. But, the Princess title is up for grabs.

3. Rihanna

Photo By: Eva Rinaldi

Keep your eye on Rihanna. Whenever I see her, she looks good. She keeps up with appearances and never disappoints.

She receives the bronze medal. She is my definition of “Pop Star.” Her music appeals to the masses. I love numbers.

You see Rihanna lets you in on a secret. Then, suddenly she stops mid sentence. I’m very fond of her puzzling personality.

I still think Disturbia could have been the next Thriller. But, the timing was wrong. This doesn’t change the fact she is the most viewed artist on YouTube. And, that means she’s doing something right.

2. Lady Gaga

Photo By: Emily

Lady Gaga deserves the silver medal. She is one of my favorites, because she has built the type of fandom I want. I know for one thing, she has 42 million Twitter followers plus 66 million Facebook likes.

I would enjoy meeting Lady Gaga. She stands for a cause. It’s nice to see her spreading a message.

What I like the most about Lady Gaga is how she came out of nowhere. One day we went to bed and Lady Gaga was our dream girl. Her rise was like a movie starring Beyoncé Knowles.

Lady Gaga doesn’t have to sing another song. Come on: Poker Face, Born This Way, and Bad Romance made her famous forever. After launching off into orbit in 2008, the universe now knows her name.

1. Beyoncé

Photo By:Nat Ch Villa

Beyoncéis big. I nominated her ‘entertainer of the year.’ I believe Beyoncé will only get bigger.

Beyoncé is at her peak. There’s no sign of her slowing down and taking it easy. She’s on a mission.

The ‘GetMe Bodied’ girlfriend embodies the essence of beauty. Her sexy skin radiates on stage and on YouTube. You stop and stare as she struts into the room.

Let me put it this way. Beyoncé is #1. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna are really hot. But, (the key word) they are NOT Beyoncéin bold letters.

I’ve always been a Beyoncé fan. Through the good and bad, I stick by her. I buy her music, go to her concerts and drink her orange juice.

When life gives me lemonade, I make fresh squeezed orange juice. Beyoncé is different. If you want to be on her level, you must understand your uniqueness.

Did you know Beyoncé started with Destiny’s Child? If you were born in the 90s, you may not know this fact. What Paul McCartney is to the Beatles, Beyoncé is to Destiny’sChild.

Let me be the first to say, the Beatles will always be the best band until the year 3,000. But, as a solo artist Beyoncé is as good as it gets. Who can deny her?

Steve Jobs changed the music business with the iPod, iPad and iTunes. Michael Jackson’s influenced pop culture and cemented his legacy as the King of Pop with the Thriller album. Beyoncé is changing the entertainment industry with her self-titled album, tour, and all around body of work.

Taylor Swift

Where is Taylor Swift? I’m sorry Taylor. I’m going to let you finish but Beyoncé had the best video of all time…

How to Party Like a Rock Star and Rock Like a Rolling Stone

Miley Cyrus

Invitation to My Party

How would you like to party like a movie scene straight from Project X? Yeah baby, I’m talking about toasting to the good life. If it gets too hot, jump in the pool to get wet.

You’re invited to my party. Please accept if you want to have a wild night. Bring your friends.

Where is it? The party is here on the Guru Jay blog. I hope you like the new layout.

You can now customize your experience. Choose from 7 cool features: Classic, Flipcard, Magazine, Mosaic, Sidebar, and Timeslide. By the way, you’re a VIP.

VIP

How do you party like a rock star? How do you rock like a rolling stone? You need style, substance and loyal fans.

Have you noticed how celebrities go out their way to thank their fans? Why are there so many “fantastic” celebrities? Loyalty is priceless.

Fandom comes with a price. If you want to make it, you have to work smart. You can work too hard, but you cannot work too smart.

Miley Cyrus is highly intelligent. Her brand is one of the most marketable products in show business. The young talented singer breaks the rules.

The first rule is to break the rules. Successful celebrities are on the edge. They’re constantly challenging the status quo.

Rihanna is a heartbreaker and also a rule breaker. She pushes the envelope and delivers the mail. She is number 1 on YouTube, because she makes her own rules.

The second rule is there is no such thing as bad publicity. Miley is at odds with the wrecking ball. She demands your undivided attention.

Creativity is a requirement to being a rock star. If you’re a regular 9 to 5 average Joe Doe, then the rock lifestyle is not for you. But, if you dare to be different come on and audition.

If you’re going to party, rock like Miley Cyrus. Miley understands her superstardom. She is a young superstar who has already established her place in music history.

I started following Miley Cyrus on Twitter today. Although I am a not a big fan of her music I am infatuated with her personality.

Her website is even different. Check it out here.

The best way to become a rock star is to be you. Real rock stars are one of a kind. Unlike poker players, you can’t bluff rocking like a Rolling Stone.

Your ego needs adjusting in order to party like a rock star. You can’t care about upsetting some people with your controversial views. You have to stay true to yourself.

The third rule is to break a leg. I’m not saying you should sprain your ankle or tear your Achilles tendon. All I am saying is luck plays a major part in your success.

Brad Pitt will be the first to tell you Lady Luck is his BFF. He says he is lucky to be in his position as an actor. He’s right.

In Hollywood, they tell you to break a leg right before your performance. If you want to be an actor, start acting like an actor. Faking it to you make it, is not the same as escaping reality.

Have you noticed how everyone’s ego in Tinseltown is bigger than a watermelon? Why are their egos the size of melons or Kanye West- bigger than Jupiter? You have to inflate your hot air balloon before the haters deflate your dreams.

The fourth rule is to learn how to play the guitar. If you don’t know how to play, grab a copy of Guitar Hero.  The commercial is cool and so is the game.



Guitar Hero



Learn from the greatest guitarist and rock star Jimi Hendrix. It’s easy to see why he is legendary. Here are links to the Jimi Hendrix Experience Album on YouTube and MySpace. 

The electric guitar is the rock star’s favorite instrument. There’s something about how the strings generate fires and echoes off of walls. You’ll learn the trade fi you’re serious about superstardom.

Break the rules. Better yet, make the rules. Live by your code.

Imagine waking up everyday whenever you feel like it. If you’re late, it’s okay because you’re the boss. Bruce Springsteen sings about you in his songs.

As soon as you walk out the door of your Malibu mansion, 100 fans are waiting for your autograph. What do you do? You kindly explain you got a job to do.

You are your job. There are impersonators who make a living emulating your style. But they will never be you, because you are one of a kind.

You’re also a jack-of-all-trades. American Idol, America Got Talent and The Voice have contacted you. They want you to be a judge on their shows.

You have so many choices and so little time. Do you wonder about the drawbacks? Well, you haven’t seen your lady in three months.

It’s too easy for groupies to fall in love with you. It’s so hard for you to fall in love with a groupie. What will you do for love?

You canceled three shows on your world tour in order to go back home. All these are scenarios. I say the perks out way the sacrifices.

Mr. Big Stuff, Who Do You Think You Are?

The following is a list of Rock Stars with the biggest fans:

 Writer

James Patterson is a prolific novelist. If you’re a writer you respect Patterson. Can you name another author on his level?

Writing is my life.  Of course, I am impartial to the writer’s lifestyle. It’s fun and rewarding.

I believe writers have the most loyal fans. Think about the Twilight Saga, Harry Potter, and the Hunger Games. Trust me, writers have some of the biggest fans.

I received a ton of fan mail during my time as a journalist. It was awesome. There is power with the pen.

Musician

Music makes the world spin. Being on stage  is an exciting feeling.  What is better than making a living by touring the world?

The best thrills come from being a Rock Star. Concerts are a way for superstars to connect with fans. The spotlight is always shining on you.

Many of your fans, know you better than your brand. You can’t party without music. That’s why musicians are so valuable.

They show up and bring the music with them. You don’t have to get intoxicated. All you have to do is boogie and have yourself a good time. It’s a natural ecstasy.

Athlete

I heard Kobe Bryant parties hard. It makes sense because he lives in Hollywood. If you play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers, no party is off limits to you. State your  last name and number and the hostess will escort you to your reserved seat.

It seems basketball, players have the most fun. But, Baseball stars come in at a close second.  I always read bout ball players messing up in the off-season.

Actor

Partying is part of an actor’s job description. It’s a no-brainer; if you have the chops become an actor.  Get in the right movie and you’ll be a celebrity overnight

Ken Jeong gave up practicing medicine for rehearsing roles. He became famous overnight by joining the Hangover cast. The Detroit native is a dream come true.

Actors are the most confident rock stars. They’re know for getting into trouble too. If you can be an actor, do it.

Comedian

Comedians have the hardest jobs in show business. You may make a 100 people laugh but there will always be 1 heckler. The heckler’s job is to make your night hectic.

You need thick skin to get this shindig. Like actors, you must exude confidence. Otherwise, things go downhill fast.

Personality

Every writer, musician, athlete, actor and comedian is a personality in essence. There are exceptions But, most personalities are talented in another area.

Personalities have the most fun at parties. Why? Because they are either offending somebody or making us laugh or cry.

Local

Everybody knows your name. The majority of local celebrities are well known in their regions. There are exceptions.

It is rare to see local rock stars expand worldwide. But it happens. Prince is a rare rock star who began in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kid Rock Party

We’re going to party like a Rock Star. Were’ going to rock like a Rolling Stone. Like Kid Rock (Detroit Party Don’t Stop) We’re going to go at it non-stop.



Party Rock Anthem

21 Love Quotes, Song Lyrics & Movie Lines

BY: GURU JAY

LOVE QUOTES

Love floats like a log on the river of life. So, what if you are bumped pushed or pulled astray? Whatever happens is for the best. If E = MC 2, then L.O.V.E. = 1 + 1.

Love is an act of desperation, commitment, and denial. Everyone wants to be loved. You have to give love to get love.

The best love is unconditional. In your worst moment, your lover is there to comfort you. She is a special light in your darkness.

You know she will help you when you are helpless. Her smile gives you hope when you are hopeless. Although the water is deep, she is in the same boat you are in.

We’re sailing on high waters together. We save each other from drowning. I chose these quotes to highlight the best love sayings. Last week I wrote about motivational quotes, photos and videos. 

MSN has a special section dedicated to living, love, and relationships. I noticed when I turn on the TV all I see is hate. Where is the love? The beauty of love is that it lasts for an eternity. When we are long gone, our love will still be here.

The music we made, the ballads we recited, the words we felt will live forever. Love is always part of the equation. What is more, love is free.

Yes, you can’t buy love. If you bought some, get a full refund- because you can’t sell love. I believe love is in your veins. It is love that keeps your heart beating.

When you’re about to give up love keeps lifting you higher. Love is the ultimate expression of life. It’s what makes life worth living.

You have to first love yourself in order to love others. Take time to know yourself and realize you are your own celebrity. You are the best.

What does it mean to be in love? Scientists have tried to figure out that question since the beginning of science itself. I think only artists can answer the meaning of love.

LOVE SONG LYRICS

 

You see, you can prove science. Nevertheless, you can’t explain art. Art in its purest form is passionate love. Passion is the adrenaline that is pumped in your veins to your heart.

When passion enters into the heart, love is everywhere. I applaud artists like Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Bruno Mars. They understand the love story.

Love is a piece of wood carved by amateur lovers. Love isn’t a perfect piece. Love is designed to have imperfections.

Love will take you where you want to go. If you ask me, love is better than money, time, and power. For love is the reproduction of life itself. 

What is better than life? It’s a philosophy to prescribe to like medicine. Chemistry is just a tiny part of true love. 

You need an unwavering nonnegotiable spirit. You have to search deep down to reach the bottom of your heart. When you’re inside the heart and you can feel your heartbeat, then you have found the real meaning of love.

To be in love is an illusion. The heart can only take so much. It is made to endure pain and pleasure. A big heart may be filled with hatred or with love.

Love is a long journey. Bruno Mars’ ballad Just The Way You Are demonstrates the meaning behind love. Your love is perfect in your eyes.

In the Top 10 Actresses, I discuss how the highest paying actresses act in Romantic Comedies. I go more in depth, later on in the blog. Music and movies have a huge potential to change circumstances.

Bruno Mars Just The Way You Are may help a girl who is insecure about her looks. Society constantly conveys the message about what is considered beautiful. Consequently, girls with God-given curves hate their bodies; But men love every inch!

Beyonce is full figured. She has a good slice of meat on her bones. And, the mainstream accepts her. My opinion of beauty is that if you’re happy, you are beautiful.



ROMANTIC MOVIE LINES



It doesn’t matter what size you wear. No man is going to fall out of love with you because you went up or down 1 size. We’re going to love you for what you’re made of on the inside.

I want to know if she’s kind, lovable and a good cook. You might want to know something different. Beyonce’s Halois beautiful. Her voice is as close to an angel as you can get. The lyrics are sweet, elegant, and intriguing. You can listen to Halo from now until forever.

Many of the most memorable movies deal with love. The Titanic is a classic love story. Leonardo DiCaprio’s words are well scripted.

Love is an action. You have to do the deed. Otherwise, your words are meaningless.

A lot of action actors like Angelina Jolie star in romantic films. Angelina Jolie earns every cent of her paycheck. She makes movie bosses a fortune.

Tom Cruise is a top actor. He has starred in several film genres from science fiction to romance. I believe the best actors have the ability to play multiple roles.

Moreover, Cruise is known for his role in Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire has a dozen of memorable lines. For instance, “Jerry, Show me the Money!” is a line that helped Cuba Gooding Jr. win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar Statue.

Of course, the “You had me at hello” sequence became an instant classic. The fact is life is nothing without love. In a sense, love is the definition of a meaningful life.

I admire actresses, because it’s a lot harder being an actress than an actor. First, there are fewer roles for female leads. As a result, there are less lines.

Love is what you make of it. Like all great things, you have to take time out to practice. Don’t neglect love.

If you haven’t found love, be patient. Sometimes, love will find you. Love is somewhere close to us…

What Would You Do For Love?

Begin Again: Music + Movies = Success

BY: GURU JAY
Begin Again 

Music + Movies= Success. This summer Begin Again debuts in theaters. The film starring Keira Knightley is highly anticipated. Critics have already chopped up Begin Again.

Overall, the reviews are looking good. For starters, we have a hot cast. It’s an incredible ensemble of actors, musicians, and singers.

The soundtrack is important to a movie’s success. I recently watched She’s Having a Baby for the 4thtime. If you have seen it, you realized the power of the ending scene. This Woman’s Work is brilliantly placed on the She’s Having a Baby soundtrack.

You see the soundtrack can change a movie from dull to good. The best films have a well-written script and a wonderful soundtrack. Begin Again is a movie with all the right pieces. Enjoy the trailer.


The cast has a tasty mixture of talent and direction. For the record, Begin Again was released for the first time at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival. The movie has been out of production for a while.

But, you’ll find that the best movies make you wait. Begin Again does a fine job building up anticipation. I strongly believe the film will fair very well at the box office.

In my last post Action Heroes and Zeroes, I explained how marketing may catapult or kill a movie’s chances. Begin Again is a success story.

The film is said to have a sensational soundtrack set to summer in New York City. It is scheduled to premier in the United States on July 4, 2014. The movie trailer has already been given tons of shares, likes and view on YouTube.

I’m interested in Canadians who have seen Begin Again. What did you like about it? Wasn’t the soundtrack sweet?

Does it live up to the hype? Judging by the reviews and information I’ve been given, the move is going to sell out on Independence Day. Can’t wait.

Keira Knightley

Look into Keira Knightley’s eyes. Are you mesmerized? The British beauty is due for an Academy Award. Don’t be surprise if you hear her name in the news.

Knightley came close to winning the Best Actress statue in 2005 for her portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice. She was too young to win at that time.

I have a background in Government. I can tell you there is politics in everything. The Academy Awards are no exception.

I gave you a breakdown of Hollywood politics in my post of the Top 10 Actresses. Did you know actresses make less money after winning an Oscar? What is more, actors make more money after they win.

Hollywood has the strangest politics in the world. Knightley may not want an Oscar for these reasons, but she’ll get one and I tell you why.

She is becoming too expensive. She’s reaching the mature age of thirty. So the movie industry cannot trick her into taking less. She knows her worth.

Mark my words: she will win an Oscar within 3 years. Remember where you heard it first. Hey, Hollywood is not all fun and games. It’s a big business.

Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo costars in the film. He is most famous for playing The Hulk in the Avengers. He is a nice addition to the cast.

The great actor has been acting since 1989. He’s seasoned, humble, and talented. He has all the right ingredients.

He’s not going to try to steal the show. We need more actors like Ruffalo. He can a drive a movie to box office success. And, he doesn’t mind taking a backseat.

I believe he is one of the most respected actors in the business. No one ever has a bad word to say about him. He shows up, does his job and goes home.

Hailee Steinfield is a rising star. She brings the most youth to the silver screen. She is famous for her portrayal of Mattie Ross in True Grit.

She has a lot of potential in show business. The casting director deserves a $20,000 bonus; because the three main characters represent 3 different generations.

I can’t wait to see what Adam Levine from Maroon 5 brings to the table. He’s a superb singer and not a shabby actor either. It will be interested to see what role he plays.

For all we know, Levine could be like Justin Timberlake. Who can forget Timberlake’s performances in the Social Network and In Time? Levine adds a flavorful ingredient to the mix.

Cee Lo Green is underrated as a singer. I remember when he lost his mind! In college, I first heard the Gnarls Barkley Crazy song.

If you haven’t already heard, then listen to Crazy on YouTube. The Crazy song and You’re Beautiful owned the 2005-2006 music season. It will be fun to see the former artist from Gnarls Barkley on the silver screen.

Music + Movies = Success


As an Accountant I deal with the equation Assets= Liabilities + Owner’s Equity on a daily basis. You learn this equation in your Accounting 101 class.

Later on in your accounting courses, you deal with more sophisticated formulas. If you’re a STEM major, more power to you.

If you’re a music or theatre major, I envy you. If there’s one thing I learn in life it is to follow your dreams. No matter what, stay focused.

Don’t forget the equation I introduced to you in the beginning. Music + Movies= Success. It’s a proven fact that soundtracks play an important role in the scheme of things.

This summer the Begin Again movie is sure to please. Don’t only mark my words, mark your calendars. The film debuts on July 4.

Expect fireworks and a roller coaster ride. You don’t have to go to Disney World or Six Flags. Take your family and friends to see Begin Again.
